More OS with 3rd graders

[Yoav Peck]

To: Joelle, Ashley, and anyone else with experience opening space in schools


I would appreciate hearing from you about your experiences, and/or resources
you may recommend. 

I conduct school programs for the advancement of human dignity and I would
love to incorporate OS into my work this year. 

Thanks! Yoav Peck, Jerusalem

Ashley--

Fun, indeed!  This is really great, that students at your school are
learning to self-organize and help themselves.

Years ago, I opened space for the teachers and staff of an elementary
school.  The students were not involved in this one, though the first
graders set up the room (a small gymnasium) at the end of their recess.  In
the course of preparing for the OS, I learned that this school was using a
talking stick to resolve conflicts between students.  When there was a
problem, someone would run to get the talking stick, and both parties would
take turns saying whatever needed to be said, until they could work out a
solution.

Sounds like your school is growing people who might learn to solve disputes
without violence.
